Plague: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Slack, Paul (Emeritus Professor of Early Modern Social History, Oxford University)
In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Slack explores the historical impact of plague over the centuries. Looking at the ways in which it has been interpreted, and the powerful images it has left behind in art and literature, he considers how it was fought and controlled, and the impact it had on our modern notions of public health.
